Awaiting Colonoscopy

Hi,

So I've been suffering with upper to lower right sided abdo pain, diarrhoea, nausea, loss of appetite, fatigue. I had routine bloods that then showed I'm anaemic. Doc ordered more tests specifically stool my fecal calprotein test came back as normal but my FIT test was abnormal. I'm now awaiting a urgent referral and a colonoscopy. 
 

has anyone else had anything similar? Really worrying now it could be something more sinister as fecal calprotein test normal so no signs of inflammation in my bowel.

    Oh and another thing, when the colonoscopy department phone you to take some details they will probably say you'll be seen within two weeks. Ask politely if you can be seen as soon as possible, because that's what I did and I was in there the next morning. Not saying you'll get one that quick but maybe you'll at least get a date
